Earlier this month, the Trump Administration deported eight migrants
to South Sudan, a country beset by conflict and extreme hunger. Only
one of the men, who have all been convicted of violent crimes, is from
South Sudan, and their families have reportedly not heard from them
since their arrival in that country. The Supreme Court allowed their
deportations to proceed, which has raised concerns from human-rights
organizations that the Administration would begin deporting more
people to third countries where they could be at risk of violence and
torture. And indeed, last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement released internal guidance explaining that when a foreign
country has offered credible diplomatic assurances about keeping
detainees from being tortured, deportations can move forward.

Europes JUSTICE ministries have a problem. Courts are locking up more
criminals, but figuring out where to put them is proving tricky. In a
growing number of countries, prisons are packed to the rafters.
Occupancy levels now average close to 95% in the European Union; they
exceed 100% in nearly half the bloc, mainly in western Europe. Beyond
the EU, the trend is similar. Even in Switzerland and Iceland, which
boast some of the lowest crime rates in the world, jails look
uncomfortably full, thanks to lengthier sentences. Britains are
bursting. Building new prisons is expensive, slow and provokes
